Mourinho confirms comeback, says England special place to be manager
March 23rd, 2011 - 2:41 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 23 (ANI): Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed that he is all set to return to the Premier League.
“I miss England and my next job will be in England. There is unfinished business. And I think England wants me back, no? It was the most enjoyable time of my career,” he said.
Speaking at the Football Extravaganza evening at London’s Grosvenor Hotel, he described England as a special place to be a manager.
Chelsea is his most likely destination but both Manchester clubs and Tottenham are on his radar, The Sun reports.
Mourinho said: “My Chelsea time was amazing as a football manager and family man. My family and I enjoyed it so much. We made so many friends here. We still keep in touch, we still come back.”
“In football there are a few victories here I would like to repeat. I will talk to my agent and get a project for my career. I still have three years at Real Madrid. It is the biggest club in the world but it is also the most difficult club in the world,” he said.
“They came to me for the third time and I could not say no to them for the third time - I had to go. And I had to go to Italy that was important for me because I wanted to try there. Everyone said it was the home of tactics so I said let me try there.
“But it is not England, England is special. People in Italy, Spain and Portugal ask me why I love England so much and I can’t explain - I just do. I want to be happy in my work. I want to be happy with my football,” Mourinho said. (ANI)
